I would rather see a young player and see if he can be up to standard. Lee will do well in a non contact game where defending is not as important he has a great engine and is very good with the ball.

We've already given some opportunities to a few youngsters (kai kai, Lokilo) and the almost unanimous view was that they weren't good enough. Given that Kai Kai was seemingly one of the higher rated ones, I'm not sure we can/will be risking any others.

Joniesta, when fit was rightly a fans favourite. Not sure you can say he has done bugger all. His performance in the first away win at Amex was class.

Key term being ‘when fit.’ You could probably count the amount of great games he’s had in a Palace shirt on two hands.

I think Williams was more of a fan favorite based on what we all thought he would be, rather than what he was at the time. He had great games and he also had games where he got dominated, just like all young players learning their craft.

That many?

I would say buying him stopped JW getting chances In the end injuries did for him but he is far better then CYL

Don't really understand that point as CYL has only ever been a fringe player here too. Think JW would have had those chances if it had not been for injuries and he has had several loans where the niggly injuries have continued too. For JW the problems never seem to go away and he must be what 24/25 by now
